... factor of n”, then this assertion may be easily checked; that is, the integers have the last and definitive word. One can thus get by quite nicely without proving a theorem that a method works in general. But, as with the experimental sciences, both rigorous and heuristic analyses can be valuable in ...

... example, we regard 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 as the same as 3 × 5 × 7 × 2, or any other possible order in which these primes are written. This fact is also stated in the following form: The prime factorisation of a natural number is unique, except for the order of its factors. In general, given a composite numb ...
